I usually refer to Chip pearson 's page when I want to use arrays here's his instructions which seem very straightforward:

Dim Arr() As Variant ' declare an unallocated array.
Arr = Range("A1:C5")' Arr is now an allocated array


Here is my code which appears to follow his insturctions but when I check it the array is empty:


Dim MyArray() As Variant

With Workbooks(psRefFileName).Sheets(1)

MyArray = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1000, 4))

End With


Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong it seems fine to me, why on earth will the array not collect the range assignment?

Any help very much appreciated

Kind regards, Mark

try:

without the brackets

Thanks for that Claus, it works but it is not collecting the right range from the workbook specified, I tried using

With workbook("MyWorkbook").Sheets(1)

End With
surrounding it but it appears to ignore that and use the main workbook rather than the active workbook (by virtue of just being opened). I also tried qualifying it fully which it also ignored! I am thinking of assigning the range to a named range then trying to assign it to my array / variant, do you know the syntax for that (I am somewhat rusty!).

Kind regards (and thanks), Mark

into a with statemant you have to put a dot in front of the ranges to
refer them to the right sheet:

Dim MyArray As Variant

With Workbooks(psRefFileName).Sheets(1)
MyArray = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1000, 4))
End With
